Book Of Ezra
Come Home
The Book of Ezra inspires us to return to God together with all of our hearts.
Let’s return as families. Let’s return with purpose and passion. Let’s return with trust and surrender. Let’s return with devotion and determination. We want to know Jesus and abide with Him daily.
Let’s rediscover and receive the indestructible and infinite hope of Jesus. Jesus died for our sins and rose from the grave.
We, however, drift from God and His calling. We need to repent and reform. Our culture is saturated with distractions. We also have blind spots and roam unintentionally. The good news is that Jesus is merciful, and God’s power is evident in our weaknesses.
Jesus is the Messiah and Savior of the world. We can fully His leadership in every aspect of our lives. There is no reason to be ashamed of Jesus, even in spiritually dark places. If God is for us, who will we fear?
The gospel is for everyone. A deeper dive in the Bible leads to a deeper faith in the Lord. God’s love, holiness, and faithfulness are evident in every chapter of this book.
God wants to fill our minds with clarity, our hearts with kindness, and our souls with passion.
We are designed to receive God’s Word and share it with others. As a community of faith, we intentionally build each other up. We serve one another and pray with each other often.
Read Scripture, be a doer of God’s Word, and pass it along to others. Let the Bible dwell in your richly and renew your mind. Be creative and courageous with spreading the Word of God where you live, work, learn, and play.
The world has been influencing the church more than the church has been influencing the world.
May our homes and churches become the most hope-filled places in our communities. The world is bold about sin, now the people of God need to be bold about Jesus. God is with you and as you build up God’s kingdom and transform your city.
You never know who will respond to God and decide to walk with Jesus. Everyone reaches one.
For Ezra had devoted himself to the study and observance of the Law of the Lord, and to teaching its decrees and laws in Israel.
What Is The Format?
Each chapter in the Book of Ezra has a different theme and application for our lives. We will focus on one chapter every week for ten weeks. Be devoted to God’s Word as you draw near to our gracious Savior.
This journey in Scripture includes personal time with God, a teaching video, discussion with friends and family, as well as the weekly sermon. All of these elements work together in a transformative way as we become more like Jesus together.
The Holy Spirit wants to do something new in our lives.
Every week, we encourage you to read the highlighted chapter daily. Meditate on God’s Word. The Bible is living and active, and it revives our souls. God will pour out His grace in fresh ways as you make new decisions to seek and serve the Lord.
Jesus calls us to glorify Him publicly. Do not put your light under a bowl. God is moving in and beyond the walls of the church building. It’s time for the entire body of Christ to participate.
We challenge you to invest in your relationship with God. 21 minutes a day is both our recommendation and challenge. Restoration can’t be rushed. The Book of Ezra convicts us, clarifies our mission, and sets our souls on fire.
You will not regret this new habit and rhythm. Find others who will do the same. God will encourage and empower you in significant ways as you honor Him. You will overcome opposition through God’s Spirit and Word.
What Can You Expect?
At the end of this series, you will have a firm grasp of the Book of Ezra. Every week you can share what you learn with people through texts, emails, conversations, and giving away Bibles. Take relationship risks and gospel risks with your family and friends.
The environment in our homes changes when we read Scripture and pray together. Start doing this together and strengthen your foundation and relationships. Enjoy God’s shalom in your home.
The spiritual temperature will rise when you seek God. More of God’s presence brings love, healing, unity, hope, and joy. God is going to give you a new courage and a greater faithfulness as you seek Him.
Reject distraction and excuses. God is calling you to step out of what is comfortable and grow in your faith. Be sure to pass along what God is teaching you.
If you love Jesus, feed people with spiritual nourishment. We need more than food for our stomachs. We want to enjoy living water and overflow with God’s grace and truth. Come home and be filled with the Holy Spirit.
